Multi-FunctionConferencing FacilityButler, Rodgers, Baskett created this multi-

unction conerencing acility or a major

New York law irm. A main boardroom table,

a video conerencing table, ive reconigu-

rable tables, and twenty conerence tables

o varying sizes and materials were supplied

in a complex, phased installation schedule.

The project is particularly notable or

the number o dierent inishes speciied.

A complex palette o three veneer species,

two types o metal and seven marbles were

used in various combinations. The po-

tential or conusion was considerable so

we are particularly proud o our project

management department or making

all the right pieces all into all the right

places at the right times.

From the date o order placement

WallGoldinger had six months to ma

its inal delivery. Sampling, detailing

the project, manuacturing o the div

elements took another three, and ins

required one month. Meticulous cootion throughout the process was key

Year in Review

n the midst o celebrating its 35th year, Wall-

Goldinger has good reason to be very happy

with its 34th. This past year was our best yet in

erms o sales and proitability, and not only that,

we built some o the most challenging projects we

ould have been asked to undertake. We also deliv-

red 92 projects o all sizes, surpassing our previous

2-month record by nearly 20%.

The variety o work weve done is, we think,pretty impressive, and includes our most compli-

ated single piece to date a mega-multiunction

boardroom table (center right). We

have also completed a massive

ssembly o 30 conerence tables

see our lead story) which eatures

n unusually complex palette o

materials and inishes.

Most o our projects are not

quite as intimidating as those

bove but the same thought-

ul approach and attention to

detail applies to them as well.

Our popular lightweight Arbor

ables (we built several hundred

during the past 12 months) are

n example at the opposite end

o the design spectrum. Relatively

imple, Arbors invariably involve

ome degree o customization and as such

equire the same mix o innovative engineer-

ng, ine cratsmanship, and on the ball

project management.Usually aced with a mountain o details

nd a diicult schedule, you might think

we approach some projects with a bit o

repidation. We do, o course, but then we

gure, who better to tackle these sorts o

hallenges? Apparently a good number o

our customers eel the same way and were

ery pleased that that has led to our best

ear so ar.

Fitted with 28 retractable multi-function monitors, this boardroom table represents WallGoldmost technically ambitious challenge to date. The design is by Bostons Elkus Manfredi with adesign by ACT Associates and fitout by Verrex. The table features anigre veneer with stainlessaccents and was engineered, fabricated and installed in less than six months.

WallGoldfinger developed a proprietary folding leg mechanism for a Davis Carter Scott law fproject in Washington, DC. Fifty-six lightweight Arbor tables were furnished, each fitted witharray of power and data connections. Sycamore veneer, maple solids and stainless steel leg bcombine for a sleek look.

Working with the clients

Feng Shui consultant, Mi-chael Oei Architects of Phila-delphia designed this harmo-nious conference table and

several complementary casepieces. The table features acurly maple field and sinuousdark maple burl accent strips,all carefully arranged withinthe egg-shaped solid mapleborder. The base echoes the

shape of the top.
